The information of band structure of silicon nanocrystal (nc-Si) embedded in SiO2 thin films synthesized by Si ion implantation and subsequent thermal annealing at various temperatures has been obtained from spectroscopy ellipsometric (SE) analysis. The indirect band structure and the energy gap of the nc-Si are not affected by the annealing. In contrast, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra show a continuous evolution with the annealing. Six PL bands located at 415, 460, 520, 630, 760, and 845 nm, respectively, have been observed depending on the annealing temperature. The annealing at 1100 degrees C yields the strongest PL band at 760 nm (approximately 1.63 eV) with the intensity much higher than that of all the other PL bands. Based on the knowledge of the band structure, the 760 nm-PL band could be attributed to the indirect band-to-band transition of the nc-Si assisted by the Si-O vibration of the nc-Si/SiO2 interface with the stretching frequency of approximately 1083 cm(-1) (approximately 0.13 eV). On the other hand, the first four PL bands mentioned above could originate from different extended defects in the oxide matrix, while the 845-nm PL band could be related to the interface luminescent centers.

Objectives: The financial basis of sick pay is provided by health insurance premiums paid by employers and employees in Hungary. Due to the economic crisis in 2007, the number of people employed significantly decreased. The aim of our study was to analyse the changes of nationwide sick-pay expenditures of the National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary. MethOds: We used the data of National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary and statistical reports of Nr. OSAP 1514, as well as data of Hungarian Central Statistical Office from the years of 2005-2013. We analysed the following indicators: average daily sick-pay expenditure and the nationwide sick-pay expenditures National Health Insurance Fund Administration, and the number of days spent on sick-leave. Results: In the investigated period the expenditure for one day of sick-pay gradually increased between the years of 2005 and 2009, from 2420 to 3101 Hungarian Forint (HUF). This is closely correlated with the changes of the average general wages. The general daily amount of sick-pay between 2010-2012 stagnated on 2700 HUF, then increased to 2929 HUF in 2013. Sick-pay expenditure of the National Health Insurance Fund Administration was around 100 billion HUF between 2005-2008, in 2009 it reached 108 billion HUF. Tthen due to governmental actions after the economic crisis it fell by 26% in 2010 (79 billion HUF), with further decline to 57 billion HUF in 2012 and 60 in 2013. In the investigated period the number of days spent on sick-leave decreased from 37.4 million to 19.8 million. cOnclusiOns: We can conclude that the amount spent on sick-pay paid by the National Health Insurance Fund in Hungary between 2005 and 2013 significantly decreased. Thus the sick-pay expenditures were strongly influenced by the economic crisis.

A557collated and analyzed descriptively. Results: The implementation of LED-guided drug picking significantly reduced near misses for wrong drug [7.18 ± 3.17 vs 2.71 ± 1.36, p< 0.001] and wrong strength [3.47 ± 2.48 vs 1.82 ± 1.13, p= 0.02]. There was no significant difference in the frequency of picking near misses for wrong quantity [17.8 ± 9.88 vs 14.0 ± 4.64, p= 0.162]. Overall, there was a significant reduction in the frequency of total picking near misses [28.4 ± 13.2 vs 18.1 ± 5.44, p= 0.007]. Pharmacy staff's acceptance towards LED-guided picking was generally positive with majority preferring the LED over no LED-guided drug picking. ConClusions: Incorporation of LED into drug picking significantly decreased near misses of wrong drug and strength that potentially prevented costly medication errors. Pharmacy staff were generally receptive to LED-guided picking.
